narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman who was trembling as she walked. "Xinyue lost her child, what makes you think I would let your child live"A deafening clap of thunder suddenly boomed outside..."This..." The waiter at the restaurant hesitated, looking at Shen Ningran and her companions.

All the guests here are either very rich or very influential. They've never encountered a case of someone running away without paying.

They eyed Shen Ningran and Jiang Li's attire, then glanced at Guan Xin Yue and the others.

Guan Xin Yue is a regular here, so the waiters know her identity.

But Shen Ningran was still coming for the first time, and with this understated outfit, the waiter subconsciously stood by Guan Xin Yue and her side.

"Ladies, please pay first. We don't offer credit here."

The waiter's words seemed to assume that they wouldn't be able to pay.

Jiang Li was so angry she wanted to curse, but Shen Ningran pulled her back.

Shen Jiao Xue sneered, "You two aren't rich Hurry up and pay! Shen Ning Ran, for the sake of me being your sister, or else you should just ask me for help. It's not worth emptying your entire fortune to eat a meal."

No sooner had her voice fallen than a man in a suit hurried down the corridor.

The waiter immediately stepped forward and respectfully called out, "Manager."

Seeing the manager come out, Shen Jiaxue's eyes flickered as she looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, Manager. We didn't mean to cause a commotion here."

After finishing her words, Shen Jiaoxue took out a card from her bag and handed it to the manager. "My sister's meal will be on me. After all, she is my sister, and I really don't want to see her end up humiliated."

Shen Jiao Xue held herself with an aloof and condescending air, looking down at Shen Ning Ran as if she were bestowing a favor.

The manager glanced at Shen Jiaoxue with strange eyes, then brushed past her and hurried to Shen Ningran's side.

Shen Jiao Xue's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

The manager walked up to Shen Ningran, bowing respectfully and saying, "Miss Shen, I'm so sorry. We didn't know you would be visiting the store today. Please forgive us for any inconvenience."

Shen Ningran looked at the manager in confusion.

Shen Jiao Xue was stunned, watching her manager completely ignore her and treat Shen Ning Ran with utmost respect. Her face contorted with anger as she asked, "What do you mean"

The manager glanced at Shen Jiao Xue and the others, his attitude hardening considerably. He said, "Ladies, Miss Shen is a friend of our shop owner, so she doesn't need to pay for her meal."

"Are you kidding me Her" Shen Jiaxue looked at her with disdain.

The owner of Jinxuan Pavilion is a mystery, and to this day no one knows who they are. However, it can be known that the mysterious owner was able to open such a top-tier restaurant in the most luxurious location in the capital city, they must have immense wealth and be a big shot in the industry.

How could Shen Ningran possibly hook up with such a big shot

Guan Xinyue once again scrutinized Shen Ningran a few times, “Manager, are you sure that the boss's friend is this Shen Ningran, Ms. Shen”

"Yes, it's Shen Ningran, Miss Shen." The manager told them very firmly.

Just as Shen Ningran was puzzled, a message popped up on her phone.

Shen Ningran immediately understood.

The manager said respectfully, "Miss Shen, I see that you haven't finished your meal yet. We have arranged the most prestigious private room for you here, please follow me."

Shen Ningran nodded, "Okay."

"As for these two ladies, you have already been blacklisted by our shop and will no longer be served here." The manager looked at the two women with a formal expression and continued, "Please leave."

Although it was phrased as "please," everyone could hear that it was actually an order to leave.

Guan Xinyue and Shen Jiaoxue's faces were ashen.

Shen Jiao Xue asked unwillingly, "Manager, do you know what you're doing Do you know who she is She's the eldest Miss of the Guan family, one of the four great families in the Imperial Capital. If we offend her, believe me or not, she can shut us down in minutes!"

The manager smiled coldly, "If you have the ability, go ahead."

Seeing the manager's attitude, Shen Jiaoxue was eager to regain some face. She let out a cold snort and said in a loud voice, "Shen Ningran, five years haven't changed you at all. You've become so despicable. Are you being kept by the owner of this restaurant Otherwise, how could someone like you possibly be friends with the restaurant owner"

The word "friend" she emphasized, biting it with a heavy sarcasm.

Shen Ningran's face turned cold. "You're the dirty one, so everything you see is dirty, right"

"Shen Ningran, say it again, who is dirty Who did you say was dirty"

Shen Jiao Xue pointed with her finger and walked forward. Chiang Li pushed her away, "Did you not understand what I said"

Shen Jiao Xue, unable to bear it any longer, threw a cup of tea at Jiang Li in a fit of anger.

Jiang Li didn't notice and was splashed in the face with warm water.

"Lily!"

Shen Ningran furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with coldness, and hurriedly picked up a towel to hand it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li casually wiped her face, which was constantly dripping with water, and let out a sneer. Her eyes were fixed on Shen Jiaoxue. "You were the one who made the first move," she said.

After finishing his words, Jiang Li threw the towel in his hand onto the table and strode forward in three quick steps. He grabbed Shen Jiao Xue's hair roughly, "Bitch, I've really tolerated you for a long time, shameless thing."

"Jiang Li, you are courting death." Shen Jiao Xue raised her hand and slapped Jiang Li's face.

Jiang Li, standing at one meter and seven tall, completely towered over the petite Shen Jiao Xue. She sneered with disdain, "You really want to try and fight me"

Shen Jiao Xue grasped wildly at the air with both hands, "Let me go, Jiang Li, let me go..."

"Your mouth is so dirty, let me wash it for you."

Seeing this, Guan Xinyue immediately stepped forward to help Shen Jiaoxue, and Shen Ningran also stepped forward.

Jiang Li was very strong, he grabbed Shen Jiao Xue and slapped her face twice.

"Dare you shout at me in front of me I'll tear you apart!"

Shen Jiao Xue, like a madwoman, screamed and tore wildly, “Jiang Li let me go! Let me go!”

In the midst of the chaos, Guan Xinyue saw a familiar figure walking in from outside.

Her eyes rolled, and she reached out to grab Shen Ningran, her expression becoming pitifully weak. "Miss Shen, please don't hit me anymore. It's all my fault. I should have gone to die with that child back then. Please stop hitting me."

Shen Ningran frowned, facing Guan Xinyue's sudden change of expression, a flash of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she was thinking about getting rid of Guan Xinyue's hand.

Suddenly, she screamed.

With a thud, Guan Xin Yue was sent flying.

That was as if Shen Ningran had pushed him.

Jiang Li brushed away Shen Jiao Xue's hand and patted her hands.

Two women fell to the ground at the same time. Shen Jiaoxue looked at Guanh XinYue, who was both disheveled and pitiful. However, Guan XinYue was already crying tears streaming down her face, looking pitifully at Shen Ningran, "Miss Shen, all the mistakes are mine. If you want to hit me, just hit me..."
